Tessas death/ Evelinas reaction

The Loss of A Sister

I was at work when I got the phone call. Usually I would have ignored it but this time I knew things were different. Honestly I'm happy that I answered but what happened that day will forever haunt my memories. It was my little sister Tessa. At first I was confused. Why was she calling me at work? I answered the phone.
"E-Evelina? Are you there?"
The second I heard her shaky voice I knew something was wrong.
"Yeah, is there something wrong?" I asked
"No everything is fine. I just wanted to say I love you."
After those words she continued to speak but I wasn't listening. She had been tapping her fingers on the phone. She was trying to communicate with me through morse code. I listened very carefully to the tapping. My eyes began to water as the code came together in my head
"Evelina, I don't know if you are getting this, but I am in trouble. Someone came into our house. He said that he was going to kill me. I don't think that you can get here in time so please don't try. I will forever miss you and I loved being your sister. I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of me. Please, for my sake, don't blame yourself for my death. You couldn't have prevented this. Anyways, I'll have to go now, Goodbye."
Tessa stopped talking. I couldn't help but panic.
"Do you understand Evelina" She asked. Her voice was raspy. She was crying
"Y-Yes. I'm sorry. I wish I could have done better" I stated as tears began to escape my eyes.
"Goodbye Evelina, I love you."
I think she meant to hang up, but the phone call continued. I started recording the conversation from my phone.
"I'm ready" Tessa said
"Alright then." A lower voice responded
I heard the noise of something, maybe fire, and then a scream. It was Tessa's scream. It was from that moment I knew she was dead. Someone had killed the last thing I lived for. I was overcome by grief. My legs gave in to the sadness and failed. Right then and there I began to sob. I rushed home from work as fast as I could.
"She isn't dead. She can't be. This has to be some sort of prank. Please don't be dead." I said as I ran
I arrived at my house and opened the door and water flooded from the house. She had lost control of her emotion. That means she died in fear. I was supposed to protect her. Once all the water exited from the house I entered looking for her body, but it wasn't there. Who ever killed her hadn't even left a body for me to burry. I felt a physical pain from my heart as I process what happened. It felt like a thousand poisoned knives were thrashing through my heart all at once. I had failed as a sister. I was supposed to bring her safety and now, because of me, she was dead.
"No... It can't be. She can't be dead. I failed. No, I failed." I sobbed.

    I couldn't explain the dark sadness that washed over me that day. From that day on some part of me was always missing. I was no longer really myself. The me that was with Tessa was burned with her. I made a vow to myself that day. I was determined to find who killed my sister and get revenge for it. No matter what I would get revenge.

Tessa's Death

I was only 7 when I died. I remember it very clearly. It was a nice sunny day at home and my sister Evelina had just gone to work. I was playing with some toys when I felt a strange yet oddly familiar magical feeling come close. I felt a strong feeling of panic as I turned around. I was hoping for nothing to be there, but instead I saw a cloaked figure wearing all black. I quickly stood up.
"W-who are you?" I asked
I began walking to the phone on the other side of the room. The figure started to approach me.
"Please don't hurt me. Just go away please" I begged
The figure let out a wince. I was getting close to the phone but I think the figure noticed me. I was about to grab the phone when the figure appeared behind me and tied my hands behind by back.
"Tessa listen, I am not a good person, and I am going to kill you. Do you have any last requests or messages you want me to pass on?" He stated.
I thought for a moment. If I could get ahold of Drayce or Evelina maybe they could help me. I doubted that the figure would let me make a phone call though.
"I don't think that you'd let me do what I want to do." I stated
"Listen I am going to kill you. Do you really not have any requests or messages you want me to pass on?" He asked
"Can I make two phone calls? I won't tell them anything. It won't do me much good anyways since I don't know who you are anyways."
"Fine, but you have to let me know who."
"My sister Evelina and," I sighed "I know this sounds silly but her boyfriend."
He let out a pained sigh.
"I guess. I think I'll let you have this moment. I'll be right outside listening.
I picked up the phone. I decided to call my sisters boyfriend first. The phone rang. Luckily for me he actually picked up.
"Hey Tessa? Is there something wrong? Why are you calling?" He asked.
"I just wanted to say goodbye. I probably won't be able to see you again" I stated.
There was a long pause. I could hear his shaky breathing from the other side of the phone.
"O-okay..." He managed to say
"Goodbye Drayce, thank you for being my big brother."
"Goodbye Tessa."
I hung up the phone. Now it was time to call Evelina. This would be hard. I knew if I called her I wouldn't be able to lie to her, but I couldn't tell her what was going on. I picked up the phone and dialed for her. A few rings later and luckily she picked up her phone. I couldn't tell if she meant to or not.
"E-Evelina are you there?" I asked.
I hated how my voice sounded in that sentence. It sounded hopeless and sad. At this point I knew she was going to question me
"Yeah, is there something wrong?" She responded.
I sighed. Of course she could tell that something was wrong. She always knew. My head flashed to the first time I was in danger. It was just after my parents died. It was also the first time that the council noticed Evelina. They noticed that she had an attachment to me so they took me. I was only there for a few days, but I was terrified. When I finally came back Evelina ran out and gave me the biggest hug I have ever felt. She seemed so happy. From that day we decided on a code. If either one of us was ever in trouble we would use morse code to tell the other. The words we would use to notify the other of the danger was. I just wanted to say I love you.
As I remembered that I spoke "No everything is fine. I just wanted to say I love you."
